Consequently, nautical fiction as a category of writing can hardly be traced in the history of Indian literature. Nautical fiction as a substantial body of writing emerged from Anglo-American history of maritime experience. This paper is an attempt to perceive Amitav Ghosh’s novel, Sea of Poppies as an Indian response to the sub-genre.

  • Traversing the Nautical Gothic in the Touching and Melancholy Narrative of Marian Moore (1853)

    Traversing the Nautical Gothic in the Touching and Melancholy Narrative of Marian Moore (1853)

    Dearly Departed, Yet, Returned: Traversing the Nautical Gothic in The Touching and Melancholy Narrative of Marian Moore (1853) Danielle Cofer Abstract: Scholars have explored the genres of Shipwreck narratives, women’s writings about life at sea, and the nautical Gothic. Bringing these fields together in conversation with Marian Moore’s The Touching and Melancholy Narrative of Marian Moore, the Shipwrecked Female Sailor (1853) reveals tensions between horrifying experiences with shipwreck and subsequent cannibalism at sea and life on land for women in the mid-nineteenth century. Moore details her encounters with death throughout, which ultimately prepare her for the prolonged social death she endures once back on land ensnared in class and gender conventions. The irony of Moore’s narrative is that the threat of the sea proves to be far less harrowing than the entrapment of static domesticity. Instead of being the place of danger and death, the sea becomes a source of knowledge and a sanctuary from the true horror of the social conditions Moore contends with back on land. ____________________ Nautical fiction and narratives of sea travel resonated with nineteenth-century American audiences because they carried with them the fulfillment of flights of fantasy and the romance of exploration that could be read from the safety of one’s home. Indeed, “a desire for the physical and mental freedom of open ocean experience” permeates many sea narratives, fulfilling “the blue-water fantasies of men and women who ride ferries or sail yachts alongshore.”1 Yet, even beyond escapism and the promise of experiencing a different lifestyle or landscape amongst the waves and ocean swells, audiences sought much more than just knowledge of a mariner’s or seafarer’s firsthand account of maritime life.

    A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-20111

    Power At Sea: A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-20111 Brian Benjamin Crisher Florida State University Mark Souva Florida State University Abstract Naval power is a crucial element of state power, yet existing naval datasets are limited to a small number of states and ship types. Here we present 147 years of naval data on all the world’s navies from 1865 to 2011. This country-year dataset focuses on warships with ship-based weapons capable of using kinetic force to inflict damage on other structures or peoples. After identifying a country’s active naval forces, we create a measure of naval power based on the aggregate tonnage of the active ships. Additionally, we create count variables for ship types such as aircraft carriers or battleships. This paper introduces the country-year data, describes variables of interests for use in country-year, dyadic, or systemic studies and suggests potential questions of interest scholars could explore using the naval power dataset. 1 We are grateful to David Abitbol, Cameron Cankaya, and Spencer Willis for their hard work as coders on this project. The project also benefited from feedback and suggestions received from the reviewers of International Interactions. Dataset, replication files, and online appendix can be downloaded from the International Interactions Dataverse webpage: http://dvn.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/dv/internationalinteractions. The naval data will also be available at www.briancrisher.net. Address correspondence to Brian B. Crisher, Department of Political Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, USA.

    RICE UNIVERSITY Maritime Networks: The Oceanic Imaginary in the British Long Nineteenth Century by Mark Celeste A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Doctor of Philosophy APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE Helena Michie, Chair Agnes C. Arnold Professor in Humanities, Professor of English Betty Joseph Associate Professor of English Leo Costello Associate Professor of Art History HOUSTON, TEXAS April 2019 Copyright Mark Celeste 2019 ABSTRACT Maritime Networks: The Oceanic Imaginary in the British Long Nineteenth Century by Mark Celeste This project argues that maritime history and culture shape both the form and the content of the nineteenth-century British novel. Each chapter takes up a different historical genre of maritime writing—the shipwreck tale, the steamship story, the logbook, the sea chantey, and the ship surgeon’s manual—as a heuristic for oceanic reading. In recovering these maritime contexts, I track what I call the “oceanic imaginary”: not only how novels literally represent life on and around the ocean, but also how novels draw upon oceanic circulations and exchanges to imagine and craft complex literary systems. Specifically, I chart how novels incorporate historically specific maritime styles, allusions, and structures and how those texts, in so doing, register the flows and frictions of a radically networked world—a world connected and divided, more often than not, by water. As I show, we can read any novel as maritime fiction— regardless of whether the action takes place on land or at sea—if that novel registers the influence of maritime history upon its textual world. My project merges the historicist concerns of oceanic studies with the renewed critical attention to form.
